Role name in Ansible Galaxy: williamyeh.oracle-java
This Ansible role has the following features for Oracle JDK:
- Install JDK 7 or 8 version.
- Install optional Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE)
- Install for CentOS, Debian/Ubuntu, SUSE, and Mac OS X families.
If you prefer OpenJDK, try alternatives such as geerlingguy.java or smola.java.
None.
User-configurable defaults:
# which version? java_version: 8 # which subversion? java_subversion: 112 # which directory to put the download file? java_download_path: /tmp # rpm/tar.gz file location: # - true: download from Oracle on-the-fly; # - false: copy from `{{ playbook_dir }}/files` on the control machine. java_download_from_oracle: true # remove temporary downloaded files? java_remove_download: true # set $JAVA_HOME? java_set_javahome: false # install JCE? java_install_jce: false
For other configurable internals, read tasks/set-role-variables.yml file; for example, supported java_version/java_subversion combinations.
If you want to install a Java release which is not supported out-of-the-box, you have to specify the corresponding Java build number in the variable java_build in addition to java_version and java_subversion, e.g.
--- - hosts: all roles: - williamyeh.oracle-java vars: java_version: 8 java_subversion: 91 java_build: 14
If you have a pre-downloaded jdk_tarball_file whose filename cannot be inferred successfully by tasks/set-role-variables.yml, you may specify it explicitly:
# Specify the pre-fetch filename (without tailing .tar.gz or .rpm or .dmg); # used in conjunction with `java_download_from_oracle: false`. jdk_tarball_file # For example, if you have a `files/jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz` locally, # but the filename cannot be inferred successfully by `tasks/set-role-variables.yml`, # you may specify the following variables in your playbook: # # java_version: 7 # java_subversion: 79 # java_download_from_oracle: false # jdk_tarball_file: jdk-7u79-linux-x64 #
Add role name williamyeh.oracle-java to your playbook file.
Set vars in your playbook file.
Simple example:
--- # file: simple-playbook.yml - hosts: all roles: - williamyeh.oracle-java vars: java_version: 8
For some reasons, you may want to pre-fetch .rpm and .tar.gz files before the execution of this role, instead of downloading from Oracle on-the-fly.
To do this, put the file on the {{ playbook_dir }}/files directory in advance, and then set the java_download_from_oracle variable to false:
--- # file: prefetch-playbook.yml - hosts: all roles: - williamyeh.oracle-java vars: java_version: 8 java_download_from_oracle: false
